N-Acetyl-DL-serine（Cat No.:I043231）is a modified form of DL-serine, where an acetyl group is attached to the amino group at the N-terminal position. This acetylation protects the amino group from undesired reactions during peptide synthesis and can influence the compound’s solubility and reactivity. N-Acetyl-DL-serine is used in peptide synthesis to incorporate acetylated serine residues, which may affect peptide folding, stability, and function. It is valuable in research related to protein structure, enzyme activity, and cellular processes such as phosphorylation, as acetylation plays a role in regulating protein interactions and gene expression.
